Integration Announcement
Harbor + SchoolBridge

Schools shouldn't have to compromise.
From today, they don't.

Harbor and SchoolBridge: new integration to support schools, families and students. Comms, workflows and admin meet the international student programme. One experience, end to end.

Harbor was built on a belief: schools shouldn't have to compromise.

The tools that run their day-to-day and the tools that run their international programme should talk to each other. Schools should get the best of both, not pick one and live with the gaps.

Excited to share the first partnership making that real: Harbor and SchoolBridge.

SchoolBridge by Inbox Design runs the comms, workflows and admin layer for NZ schools. Harbor runs the international student programme. Where schools use both, we want the tools to work together for staff, families and students.

Massive credit to Sheldon Lendrum and the Inbox Design team for being exactly the kind of supplier we hoped to work alongside.

This is the start, not the finish line. The roadmap will keep evolving with what schools find valuable.

From day one we believed schools deserved better than picking one system and living with the gaps. SchoolBridge has built exactly the right product on the day-to-day side, and now their tools and ours talk to each other. This is the first of more to come.

International Programme · End to end

Harbor

The international student operating system. Admissions, agents, host families, pastoral care, payments, compliance - across NZ and Australia, available in every language.

The Roadmap

Start small. Grow with what schools value.

Both teams are still figuring out where the joins matter most. The plan is to start where it's easy and useful, then add depth as schools tell us what's worth it.

v1
Live now

Single Sign-On

Staff sign in once and move between SchoolBridge and Harbor without re-authenticating. Less friction, fewer passwords, one less thing to forget.

v2
Building

Records sharing, both directions

Student, caregiver and household records shared between SchoolBridge and Harbor where it makes sense. Both teams are working through what's safe, useful, and easy to maintain - school by school.

vN
As schools find value

More opportunities, realised over time

Many possibilities exist - workflow links, consent flows, comms triggers, attendance, finance. The roadmap evolves with the schools who use both. If you can see a join that would change your day, we'd love to hear it.

What This Could Mean

Staff. Families. Students. Less friction.

One door for caregivers

Day-to-day school notices, sign-offs and forms in SchoolBridge. International placement, pastoral care, consent and payments in Harbor. Same family, fewer logins, less duplication.

Less context-switching for staff

International coordinators stop bouncing between disconnected tools. The day-to-day layer and the international programme talk to each other - data flows where it should.

Best of both, no compromise

Schools no longer have to pick one system and live with the gaps. The right tool for each job - with the data and the workflow joined up where it matters.

Where we are

This is an early-stage integration. Both teams are figuring it out together, school by school. If your school runs both Harbor and SchoolBridge, we'd love to hear what would be most valuable to you.
